Six people were injured by falling debris from a drone that hit an industrial zone in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, on Thursday. Rocket attacks on the sixth day of ongoing fighting in the Middle East were also exposed Dubai, Doha in Qatar and Manama in Bahrain. TASR informs about it according to the AFP agency.
“Authorities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi have responded to an incident involving falling debris at two locations in the ICAD 2 area following the successful interception of a drone by air defenses. Six Pakistani and Nepali nationals sustained minor to moderate injuries in the incident,” the Abu Dhabi media office said in a statement.
AFP reporters reported loud explosions and rising smoke from the Qatari capital of Doha. Qatar’s Ministry of Defense previously announced that its military was working to intercept a flying missile. The country also ordered the evacuation of residents living near the US embassy in Doha.
Residents of Dubai and Manama also witnessed explosions during the day. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense reported that the country managed to intercept three cruise missiles and several drones.
Iran targets retaliatory attacks on US military facilities, as well as US embassies and civilian infrastructure throughout the Persian Gulf. It is responding to the Israeli-American offensive that the allies launched on Saturday. At least 13 people, including seven civilians, have been killed in the Persian Gulf since then, according to AFP.
